SEEC launched the Saudi Energy Efficiency Program in 2012

The Saudi Energy Efficiency Program (SEEP)

• SEEP’s scope is focused on demand side only with 3 sectors (buildings, transport, and industry) covering 90+% of Saudi Arabia’s internal energy consumption

• SEEP’s objectives are:

- To improve Saudi Arabia’s energy efficiency using bottom-up designed initiatives and their enablers

- To involve all stakeholders from inception (government, businesses and the public)

SEEP has mobilized 150+ engineers from 20+ organizations with a high-level Executive-committee to steer the effort

SEEP’s guiding principles and framework

SEEP framework is organized around three sectors and five enablers

There are four guiding principles for SEEP

Purely focused on demand-side management

Program design does not include price reforms

Initiatives designed based on end-user impact (e.g. payback period)

Energy Efficiency initiatives based on consensus with government and private sector stakeholders

Approach followed to insulate new buildings

Buildings

• Updated thermal insulation material standards in collaboration with all private sector and government stakeholders for insulation products

• Ensuring the quality and reliability of thermal insulation products available in the Saudi market

• Established short-term enforcement mechanism leveraging current capabilities. Developing long-term enforcement mechanism by leveraging international best-practice

• Ensuring the application of thermal insulation in all new buildings in 24 major cities (phase 1)

• Updated the requirements in collaboration will all stakeholders and international experts

• Ensured requirements are achievable and applicable to the Saudi context

SASO issued the Thermal Transmittance Values for Residential Buildings (SASO 2856/2014)

• Scope: Residential building (3 floors & below) applicable to:

- New buildings, and

- Modified and Renovated buildings.

• Redefined climate zones

• Two stage of enforcement

Issue the Thermal Transmittance Values

• Work with ASHRAE to propose

Insulation Values suites Saudi context (environment).

• Review the Insulation Values with:

- SASO

- Insulation Materials Manufacturers

- Design Offices

- International benchmark

Review the proposed Insulation Values

16

The new thermal insulation regulation sets the minimum thermal resistivity requirements (U-values) for new low-rise residential buildings

The thermal insulation products standards were updated in line with global benchmarks

• Extruded Polystyrene

• Expanded Rigid Polystyrene

• Spray-applied polyurethane foam

• Rigid polyisocyanurate (PIR)

• Polyurethane (PUR)

• Mineral wool

• Rock wool

• Cellular glass (CG)

• Perlite Loose Fill Insulation

• Vermiculite Loose Fill Insulation

• SASO is also in the process of developing standards for some secondary insulation products

SASO approved 13 insulation standards covering 10 insulation products:

MoMRA and SEC developed a joint implementation mechanism to ensure the enforcement of thermal insulation on new buildings

• Requirements have been revised for new building permits:

- A “No Objection Certificate” from SEC

- Insulation compliance form jointly signed by the design office and building owner

• MoMRA issued a penalty mechanism to punish the Design offices who are not complying with the enforcement of thermal insulation.

• Three visits from SEC to construction sites to monitor insulation installment

• Violations are reported by SEC and administered by MoMRA

• MoMRA issues building completion certificate only after clearance from SEC

- Connection to power grid is subject to insulation installation
